Isn't the switch lite the console for trying to expand the audience? Switch Pro if it is a real thing doesn't seem like it would do that.
Rune Factory 4 Special will launch on Feb 28 (west)
I don't think it had such purpose. It's a Switch with less features, I don't think there's a big audience that had been waiting for it. They reach to outside audiences with games, not hardware revisions.
I don't know why they chose this to remaster for Switch. It had a glitchy combat and very outdated visuals (this was supposed to be a DS game but moved to 3DS). The remaster game should have been Rune Factory Oceans, superior in every way.
It's $100 cheaper which I think is significant for quite a few people.
Especially for kids who have no money and maybe don't have their own tv.
They are the co dev of Fornite. They are doing finethe lead designer for DKCTF had joined them, but he recently left and rejoined retro. the big studio formed by former retro people is Armature Studios which looking at what they've been working on recently, i'm not sure how that worked out for them...

Chances of a Switch exclusive kind of experimental or gimmicky KH just went up today
Nomura said: they have two new KH teams in addition to the main one and the UX one. It'll be a while before the next main one, and the UX one just announced Project Xehanort, and there's another game that's coming "sooner than we think" (probably from one of the two new teams.)
I don't know what else it'd be other than a spin-off, and I really think they would want a game on Switch. And what Wmily said abojt Rpgs... :o

Are we sure the game "sooner than we think" isn't just the new mobile game they announced today?

Going off-topic for a second. It's crazy that The Switch has four games that have sold more than the Wii U's entire LTD. Two of them even WERE on the Wii U.
Dare I say... it is the TWEWY 2, but it's a full crossover with Kingdom Hearts? Plays and looks like KH, Disney worlds but Neku and friends instead of Sora & friends...
Nomura has already lots of stuff in his hands, I don't think a potential TWEWY 2 is coming from him.
Remember when Nintendo put a Direct on YouTube without announcing it first? Those proudly still on #TeamJanuary remember. You just gotta believe....right?

No
The mobile game is the UX team's announcement. Other game is from a new team and still unaccounted for and won't be a mainline (basically from what I understand, won't be KH4)

Some people don't see it as likely, but I've always had a feeling Switch will get one of those quirky handheld KH spinoffs that Nintendo handhelds always get.
It wouldn't make sense to some because Switch is close to PS4 in power unlike other handhelds in their time, but Square is supporting the Switch really well and the series has historically been exclusive day one releases until KH3. I wouldn't be surprised to see them revert back to that for a smaller game. It's easier to develop for just one platform, and I know they probably want the series on Switch in some form
Thank god. I hope this spin-off comes to Switch.
I'm 100% expecting Kingdom Hearts to show up on Switch with the old games and new games. The other stuff idk about tho
Is there anything new that I missed? I'll admit, I've been a little out of the loop
Yeah, the collection of 1.5 or 2.5 is pretty much all I want. Hoping they're both sooner rather than later. I'll take a spinoff as well as long as the gameplay resembles the main games.
Oh good, they are announcing AA7 in the next Direct!The evidence is piling up!
Now that we're not expecting one to be announced, they'll announce a Friday Direct at 9AM sharp tomorrow. Never fails! Except when it does!
Do you guys think Nintendo will have an easier time getting a more solid 3rd party support with a Switch 2 considering that it's hardware is just as better than PS4 and the Switch is more powerful than the ps3/360?
I mean...yes? It would mean we would get all/most of the ports from games the Switch 1 missed this gen. But it also depends on how long cross-gen games will last.
Speaking of third parties...When was the last time we got a 3P game focused Direct? I know Japan had way more (MH4 and many more), but I remember we had W101 and Bayo 2 (ok, technically 2nd party). I feel like the only game-focused Directs we've gotten in the Switch era are first party titles. Do you think those Directs are a thing of the past?
I'd much rather have a brand new Monster Hunter for the Switch.
Both would be cool though.
My guess is that it really comes down to how powerful next gen is. If there is a bigger leap between PS4 and PS5 than there was with the prior transition, I don't see adde
lmao
does dragon quest count
not really the main focus of the direct but it had a big chunk in a direct last year
Almost all of these I'll be there for, along with some more remasters of SFC imports in the vein of the Romancing Sagas (Live A Live, Bahamut Lagoon, and Treasure Of The Rudras would all be amazing).
But more than that, I'm hoping and praying for something on the FF Tactics front to finally make sense to them. I don't care if it's War Of The Lions HD or a collection of Advance 1 and 2. Just let me have it, please.
I wonder if Monster Hunter will get its own Direct this year or they will just unveil it during a general Direct or E3
